The context makes the would-be victim more or less to blame, and more or less sympathetic. But it doesn't change the underlying calculation. Lethal force was being applied, and the officer responded proportionately.
legally i agree, morally i wish she was pepper sprayed opening a potential she stabs someone.
its just a calculation of lethality of 4 guaranteed center mass shots vs 1 potential stabbing.
or better yet hit her with a tazer or bean bags.
once legality is settled its a judgement call really. middle aged black female neighbor backing the officer is not good for BLM protesters.
